82 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that | |

83 | makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch |
84 | conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel. | |
85 | ||
86 | Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, | |
87 | scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such | |
88 | branches and include support for this optimization technique. | |
89 | ||
24b54fee | 90 | If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
c5905afb IM |
91 | the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop |
92 | instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | |
93 | nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the | |
94 | conditional block of instructions. | |
95 | ||
96 | This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction | |
97 | of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update | |
98 | of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. | |

cf66bb93 DW |
159 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |
160 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old | |
161 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the | |
162 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's | |
163 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In | |
164 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap | |
165 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or | |
166 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It | |
167 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the | |
168 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it | |
169 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. | |
170 | ||
171 | Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap | |
172 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it | |
173 | on architectures that don't have such instructions. | |

913 | and non-text memory will be made non-executable. This provides | |
914 | protection against certain security exploits (e.g. writing to text) | |

931 | May be selected by an architecture if it supports place-relative | |
932 | 32-bit relocations, both in the toolchain and in the module loader, | |
933 | in which case relative references can be used in special sections | |
934 | for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit | |
935 | architectures, and don't require runtime relocation on relocatable | |
936 | kernels. | |
